Re: Recursive calls don't work

Charles,

It is a matter of activation groups.

Is the CLP a CLLE programme (ILE) or a CL programme (OPM)? How have you
defined the OVRDBF OVRSCOPE: *JOB, *ACTGRP?

OPM CL porgrammes run in the default activation group. So ACTGRP(*NEW) will
not affect that call and OVRDBF should be on *JOB level in that case,
influencing any previous OVRDBF on the same PF/PRTF.
ILE CL programmes will start in the *NEW activation group (if compiled so),
and the OVRDBF can use *ACTGRP to be activive in ACTGRP(*NEW), until the
ILE CL programme ends (if compiled with ACTGRP(*NEW)).

Carel Teijgeler

Hi!

I try to develop a program that call itself recursively. I compiled it

with DFTACTGRP(*NO) ACTGRP(*NEW). When I call my program recursively, I
call

the CLP that does the OVRDBF. Then, in my CLP, I call my RPG/ILE program

back with my new OVRDBF.

When I debug my RPG/ILE, nothing seems to happen at this line:
C CALL 'LSTWRDP' PLIST1

I believe that my call is not performed. Or, if it is performed, no update

is made to my file by my second level call.

LSTWRDP calls LSTWRDR that calls LSTWRDP with different parameters to do

new OVRDBF...

Am I missing something?
